Although satellite images can provide more information about the Earth's surface in a relatively short time and over a large scale, they are affected by observation conditions (e.g., wind, sun, rain, and humidity) and the accuracy of the image acquisition equipment. The objects on the images are often unclear and uncertain, especially at their borders. The fuzzy clustering technique allows each data pattern to belong to many different clusters through membership function (MF) values that can handle data patterns with unclear and uncertain boundaries well. However, this technique is quite sensitive to noise, outliers, and limitations in handling uncertainties. Furthermore, the membership degrees of type-1 fuzzy sets (T1FSs) are crisp, and in many cases, it is difficult to precisely determine the T1FS parameters. To overcome these disadvantages, we propose a hybrid method encompassing interval type-2 semi-supervised possibilistic fuzzy c-means clustering (IT2SPFCM) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) to form the proposed IT2SPFCMPSO. We experimented on several satellite images (Landsat-5 TM, Landsat-7 ETM+, Landsat-8, Sentinel-2A) to prove the effectiveness of the proposed method. Experimental results show that the IT2SPFCM-PSO algorithm achieves accuracies from 98.8% to 99.39%, which are higher than those of other matching algorithms. An analysis of the results by indicators PC-I, CE-I, D-I, XB-I, τ − I, and MSE also showed that the proposed method achieves better results in most experiments.
